energy conservation

Cards (8)

  • state the law of energy conservation
    energy cannot be created or destroyed ,it can only be transferred, stored or dissipated
  • state any changes in the total energy of a ball that is kicked assuming that no external forces act?
    the total energy of the system remains constant due to the conservation of energy.
  • what is waste energy
    energy that is not used by the device for its desired purpose
  • describe the energy changes that occur in a filament lightbulb?
    electrical energy is transferred to light and heat energy
  • distinguish the useful and wasted energy in a filament lightbulb.
    light is a useful energy form.
    heat is waste energy.
  • how can the efficiency of a system be increased?
    reducing waste output
    recycling waste output
  • we can reduce waste output by
    lubrication and thermal insulation
  • we can recycle output waste by
    recycling thermal waste as input energy
